Q. I need free full text of John Updike's A&P

I found two free versions of the short story online. They are linked below.

If you are a COM student or employee, and prefer to read print books, we do have a book of his short stories that includes A&P. That is also linked below. Follow the link to view the catalog record. Click to expand the Description if you want to see the table of contents, where the story is listed. Just bring  your COM ID to check it out.

I'm also including a link to the Literature page in our A-Z databases guide. It links to all the best databases for literary criticism, in case you need articles. These are accessible only to COM students and employees. If you are off-campus you will have to log in with your last name and 7-digit COM ID.
